The large number of medical stu.

The large number of medical stu
dents in Germany has set to thinking
the great statistican, Professor Conrad
OF Halle, who declares that the time is
past when the medical career affords
chances of lucrative success. The
country now contains about -, 200 doc
tors, according TO this learned author
ity. while Bourner's Almanac for 1887
puts the total still higher-l6, 292. To
I'LL the vacant places in the profession
$500 to $500 would be a sufficient
number of medical students, which was
the case twenty years ago. But the
last report shows that there are now
S,465 students in the German medical
schools. In Prussia $50 doctors would
fully supply the usual demand, but in
stead of that 4Sl were graduated last
year, If this continues nobody will be
left 10 be cured

The site selected in Jackson park.
Chicago, for the final resting place of
General Logan, is one of the most pic
turesque and beautiful to be found in
the several fine parks of that city, and
when a suitable monument shall have
been erected there its attractiveness
will be greatly increased. 1t is prop
er condition of the arrangement that
the remains of Mrs. Logan shall rest
beside those OF her husband. The
monument above the tomb of the dead
soldier will commemorate his military
career, and It's expense will be borne
largely by the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic. 1t is under
stood that the Army of the Tennessee g

In the days of Old Lorenzo Dow the
fashion in bonnets was much the same
as now, they run high. Looking for a
Bible text from which to speak in con-
demnation of the high hat, he struck
the following: Let him that is upon
the house top not come down" He
seized upon the last words, "top not
come down." and delivered a telling
sermon. The latest spring styles in
hats seem to encourage the idea that
the ladies are ''top not" crazy.

tried for stealing the gold watch Of q
woman as she was taking a street-car.
The neatness Of the examination will
remind the reader Of Oriental stories.
The man declared that the watch
was his, and the woman was mistaken
In identifying 1t as hers. Suddenl,
the judge asked: where's the keyp'
The prisoner fumbled in his pockets,
and said he must have left 1t at home,
The Judge asked him II he had wound
the watch frequently with the key. and
he said yes"
Then a key was procured, watch and
key were handed the prisoner, and h,
was told to wind the watch. HI
opened the case, but could not find
any place to use the key, because the
watch was q stcm-winder.
The sentence was five years and ,

Regard for Each Others Welfare the Very
Essence of Genuine Courtesy.
It is not uncommon to find persons
who in their practice of etiquette and
social customs will '.strain at the gnai
and swallow the camel" They are
rigidly punctilious as to the use OF tho
fork in raising food to their lips. and
never the knife, and just how to place
knife and fork when done eating. and
other such points. but they will violate
the most m rules of syntax in
their speech, with u continual free and
easy defiance of the most elementary
principles Of grammar, so that we are
obliged to ask: How can children ever
learn correct speech while they are
hearing such barbarisms. such abuse
of language continually poured out by
parents and guests at the table and
elsewhere? In the lame of reason. i:
not a principle of grammar or rhetoric
as important as the mere custom OF
etiquette?
As to the modes of courtesy between
individuals we need toremembcr that
spirit of kindness. of tender regard fol
each others feelings and welfare is the
very essence of genuine courtesy. with
out which the forms Of etiquette arc
merely hypocritical and hollow-hcart'

An incident very significant is re-
lated of the good Prince Albert, the
husband of Queen Victoria. On one
occasion he had as a guest at dinner

in eating instead of the fork. He had
been accustomed to do S {. The chill

was u little sensation among them,

and used it in the same way to the end
of the dinner. He did this so that his
guest might feel at ease in his
presence. This IA genuine

this thoughtful consideration Of the
feelings and comfort Of his guest. that
kind of politencss which is immcasur'
ably above any mere form of etiquette.
1t was characteristic of the grace aud
kindliness Of his character. w thank
him for this example, and if our social
usagcs were pervaded by the same
spirit we should be the better and hap

The use of the knife in eating in a
dccorous without unseemly
haste is not an offeuse. When will
young ladies learn that bad grammar,
the use of such phrases as lust lovely"
'just splendid.' and the list is a long
one. is an improperly far more
ridiculous and hurtful in its influence
than the decorous use of the knife in
eating can be?-C Christian at Work.
